She is the only person we will use to watch our two doggos when we are out of town or away for a date night. weve taken short weekend trips, an evening away and now have an upcoming full week out of town - and we can only do it because she does so well with them. Highly recommend!”
“Kristin always takes such good care of my little dude. She’s always on time and when I get back he’s doing great and everything is exactly like I left it. This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.
“Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.”
“Ana was a great help checking in on my cat, Rose, while I was away for the weekend! She did everything I asked her to do and gave great updates. Rose seemed to take to her right away and didn’t hide at all like I had expected!”
“Alexis was very flexible and kept us up to date. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans and she worked with us very well. She took very good care of our little pup :) Thank you Alexis!”
“Taelor was amazing. She always made sure our cat was taken of while dropping in and did things without questions (I.e cleaning his litter box, giving him fresh water). Her updates were much appreciated and we’ll definitely be using her in the future”
“Kendall was a fabulous pet sitter, she took great care of all three pets. She walked and fed my dogs daily, and gave my cat plenty of attention. Kendall was fantastic. Great communication, sweet with the animals, and I came home to happy pets and a tidy house. Highly recommend!”

“I have used Rachel and Cody a hand full of times now. They communicate well and are very accommodating. My 3 boys(dogs) enjoy them stopping by and for all the pets, play time, ball throwing. Highly recommend.”
“What a beautiful soul! I am so grateful at how well she took care of my little family. They normally get really mad when I leave on trips but Gislene took such care of them that they didn't even care I was gone Thank you for being so sweet, attentive and respectful of my home and my kitties.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Walton Beach
Rebecca is a natural to calm and give sweet assurance to my kitty. Rebecca is the best. It been two trips I had to take for my job. First trip 16 days gone. I felt completely assured my BeBe was well taken care of. Videos were great to see my kitty interact with Rebecca.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.
I know my kitties are in great loving hands when I am out of town! I’m so glad she was available to watch my fluff balls last minute. They look so happy and comfortable in every picture I was sent! Thank you again. I will ask to use her everytime I need a sitter!!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
